AGACNP preceptor support for Creighton University students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: Creighton University
• Directory location: Omaha, Nebraska
• Verified pathways: DNP and post-graduate certificate
• Official evidence checked: July 21, 2026
• Clinical population: adults and older adults with complex, acute, critical, or unstable conditions
• Approval authority: the student's current program

Treat the pathway list as an evidence boundary, not a summary of school policy. The official pages establish the AGACNP credential routes shown here, while the current handbook and program contact remain the authorities for hours, sites, preceptors, forms, and deadlines.

The source set was checked on July 21, 2026. It identifies DNP and post-graduate certificate AGACNP evidence for Creighton University. Source language can change, so save the current program instructions that govern the student's term and ask the program to resolve anything the public page leaves open.

• Official AGACNP source 1, post-graduate certificate: Current official certificate page identifies AGACNP as an option.
• Official AGACNP source 2, DNP: Current official DNP program page explicitly lists Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner as a DNP specialty.

These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.

The right match gives the student supervised work with acute, critical, and medically complex adults and older adults. Population focus, acuity, and clinical tasks all matter. A program may define a place for adolescents, but that boundary must come from the student's current requirements rather than a generic assumption.

High-acuity opportunities often sit in ICU, progressive care, emergency, inpatient medicine, and specialty consult services. The best category depends on the gap in the student's approved plan. We do not promise that a named service, facility, or site will satisfy Creighton University before review.

For this record, the official evidence names DNP and post-graduate certificate. We use that verified label only to orient the request. The student's own course documents must supply the setting, population, competencies, dates, geography, and preceptor criteria.

Translate each objective into observable acute-care work before outreach. One course may emphasize stabilization and diagnostic reasoning, another may emphasize critical-care management, procedures, specialty consultation, or transitions across levels of care. This objective map helps avoid a willing candidate whose daily role cannot support the required experience.

Do not calculate this student's need from a national number. NTF recommends at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP track, while AGACNP certification eligibility materials refer to a minimum of 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. The current program determines the applicable total, course allocation, simulation treatment, and remaining balance.

Use the AGACNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

Look for an acute-care NP or physician whose real clinical practice supports the required patient acuity and activities. Then compare that candidate with the current credential and site rules. A strong clinical match is still a proposal until the program reviews it.

Use Omaha as a directory reference only. The student's residence, state authorization, licensure context, commuting limits, and program instructions can produce a different search area. No city or state mention on this page promises site availability.

Our AGACNP placement guide for Nebraska explains where acute-care roles tend to cluster across the state. It does not establish a clinical boundary or acceptance rule for this school.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, adult-gerontology population, patient acuity, and setting
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, acute role, and availability
• The site's service line, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

Give the program a proposal it can evaluate without guessing: who the clinician is, where the person practices, which adults and older adults are served, what the student would do, when supervision is available, and which current forms apply. Formal review remains entirely with the program.

Do the confirmation work before outreach: course and dates, approved location, clinical objectives, setting and acuity, remaining hours, candidate credentials, and required forms. We use those facts to source carefully and submit any potential match for program review.
